Here is the mod to minimize the biggest cost of car ownership: fuel. First though, some preface.
Carburetors and fuel injectors spray droplets of liquid fuel into an engine, like a spray bottle sprays droplets of liquid water into the air. As most of the fuel isn't exposed to fire, it goes unburnt or not fully reacted. The thing fuel injectors do that carburetors don't is the timing and computational calculation of fuel delivery for marginal energy savings.
Running on fumes (or better called gasoline vaporization) changes the liquid fuel to vapor/gas before entering the engine, multiplying MPG. I can't think of any reason this violates the "2nd law of thermodynamics"; as the engine burns all the energy inherent in the gasoline vs a fraction of it burning liquid droplets. The systems I've seen consist of a modified gas can set up like a bubbler, tubes taking intake air from the top and bubbling the gasoline, with the outlet a suitable hose to the intake manifold on a carburated engine. The bubbling is powered by the suction of the engine burning vapor downstream.

I don't know any other fuel mod that is cheaper and greener than gasoline vaporazation in the oil paradigm. One is still burning gas but is burning a lot less of it. So much less that traveling thousands of miles becomes affordable even for the poorest car owners. The potential is huge, to or beyond the point that a 50 foot land yacht gets the same MPG as a stock PRIUS; without any of the complex efficiency systems in the land yacht that the PRIUS has.
The best engine to work with is an analog carbonated GASOLINE engine with an intake manifold, like a DODGE van from 1986. I don't know the work-ability when it comes to computer controlled, fuel injected engines. It has to be an engine that runs on gasoline.

I know it's possible, and I plan to confirm with an old lawn mower, before running the HONDA on gasoline vapor, and before saving my pennies up for a carburated, gasoline van from the 80s to run on vapor. Mostly, the biggest cost increase for a bigger rig is the running costs, most importantly the fuel cost. Why not upsize to a bigger rig when the biggest cost is minimized. Minimizing the biggest cost of my dream life will free my wealth for things like proactive maintenance, replacement tires, and insurance.
Has anybody else heard of gasoline vaporization? Anybody know anybody who sucessfully ran their car on gasoline vapor? Are you currently running on gasoline vapor, and relishing the freedom and money savings this MPG multiplier provides? Sound off in this thread!
